I've inherited a legacy NetWorker setup: it's currently running on an

My current thoughts for upgrading are:
. upgrade to 7.2.2, still on IRIX
. verify I didn't break anything
. copy /nsr to Solaris, still 7.2.2
. verify
. upgrade to some newer version
I'd prefer to change only one thing at a time, even if it means more
work/time. Multiple moving parts tends to cause bad things to happen.
I know things have changed a lot, so I want to re-orient myself with the
new versions. Also, moving to Solaris (which I'm more familiar with), I
would probably have to reconfigure our library (ST L180) and drives (FC
LTO-1).
Besides the obvious activator code, are there any gotchas with upgrading
to 7.2?
For Solaris, since IRIX MIPS and UltraSPARC are both big-endian: I'm
assuming that I don't have to worry about any kind of index file issues,
and that a straight copy should be sufficient. Is this a valid assumption?
I'd also have to adjust the licensing (hostid) when moving to the
Solaris 10 machine.
Am I missing any major pieces?
What is your reason for upgrading from 7.1.2 to 7.2.2? This just seems
like an unnecessary step - upgrading from one unsupported version to
another unsupported version. There is no reason why you should go from
7.1.2 to 7.4.4 or 7.5.1.
